The world is full of both and it's not marked as such, nor would it be desirable to be so
It's all part of fun /puzzle .
I feel much the same way about "art " forgeries , if those who pay the dosh/recipients can't tell the difference then who cares if it was Tom Keating or Rembrandt .
Contrasting our perceptions of a fake ,which we had initially believed to be genuine ,with a later view of the same site/ artefact in the realisation that it is a fake , provides a convenient insight into our subjectivity , a sort of instant epoché , one of the few positives to come out of phenomenology in archaeology . Basically ,fakes are good to think with .
In layman's terms then. Fakes help you tune in to what is genuine.
I assume that the clues are not just in the 'art itself but also in it's location and general landscape.
A building might appear to be Tudor, but the clues will tell you it's Victorian
